Rankings Based on Employee Opinions of Work Environment and Perks
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
e-Dialog, a proven e-mail marketing service provider with offices in Boston, New
York, Seattle and London, today announced it has been named to the Globe 100`s
Top Places to Work for the second consecutive year, ranking 42 overall. The list
recognizes the most progressive companies based on an exhaustive employee survey
measuring opinions about company leadership, compensation and training,
diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values
and ethics. The Globe 100`s Top Places to Work `09 magazine was published in The
Boston Sunday Globe on Nov. 8. Online, the report can be found at
www.boston.com/topworkplaces. 

"Even in this bad economy we`ve experienced a tremendous amount of growth at
e-Dialog, including increasing our workforce by more than 75 people and moving
to our new global headquarters in Burlington. During this time, we demonstrated
our commitment to employees by significantly expanding our Human Resource
department and investing heavily in training and career growth," shared John
Rizzi, e-Dialog president and CEO. "We continue to focus on what makes e-Dialog
a great place to work." 

"We aim to provide an interesting, supportive work environment that gives our
employees the opportunity to continually succeed and learn new skills," remarked
Renee Pecor, senior vice president of Human Resources. "We do this through
training classes, mentoring, quarterly recognition programs, promoting from
within, and transfers between departments and even between offices
internationally. We`re very proud to have high employee retention rates because
it means we have happy employees, which makes for happy clients, which feeds our
growth." 

The publisher of The Boston Globe Steve Ainsley stated, "The companies included
in the Globe 100`s Top Places to Work have succeeded in creating a positive
workplace for their employees in the midst of the uncertainties of the general
economy. I congratulate each of them for an outstanding accomplishment." 

Produced by the same team that compiles the 22-year old Globe 100 report of the
best-performing public companies in Massachusetts, the Top Places to Work
recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee
opinions about company leadership, compensation and training,
diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values
and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses
were included in the analysis. 

The rankings in the Globe 100`s Top Places to Work are based on survey
information collected by Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing
in employee engagement and retention, from 86,000 employees at 269 Massachusetts
organizations. This marks the second year that a Globe 100 report has honored
private as well as publicly-held organizations.

company now employs approximately 425 people worldwide and continues to grow its
workforce in all regions. Potential applicants can learn more about the
